Angielski
They were the heaviest of the gender-bending glam bands in Britain in the '70s, with smash hit after smash hit and a stronghold in Germany of all places.
Soon Sweet-Brian Connolly, Andy Scott, Steve Priest and Mick Tucker-would extricate themselves from their producer puppeteers and make a clutch of classic albums still revered today.
Desolation Boulevard, Sweet Fanny Adams, Give Us a Wink and Off the Record... these records formed the core before disaster struck, with lead singer Connolly falling prey to the demon drink and dying from it slowly over the following 20 years. Mick and Steve are now gone too, with Andy Scott being the last man standing from the UK institution that brought us "Ballroom Blitz," "Action" and "Fox on the Run."
Come hear the band's singular and bizarre start as pop tarts, with one of rock's most revered drummers in Mick, and how it all went wrong in a blizzard of booze, cocaine and busted relationships. But also, in the spirit of the book's subtitle, come explore the band's plethora of singles, non-LP B-sides, hard rock album classics and otherwise weirdly released songs as Martin plays DJ, taking you to every corner of the band's crunchy catalogue blessed by the most angelic harmonies ever committed to virgin vinyl.
"Everybody wants a piece of the action!"
